THEY SAID IT II

“Instead of moving to the center, he [John McCain] moved to the right. He put Sarah Palin on the ticket, which pleased the right but, as we’re now seeing in these polls, her appeal does not go much beyond that.”— CBS’s Bob Schieffer on the October 24 Evening News.

“I think he’s abandoned the principles of his campaign in 2000, and that’s probably why he’s in the difficulty he’s in….He’s really become a captive of the right wing of his party and its agenda and it shows, particularly through the pick of Sarah Palin.”— Author and former Washington Post and Time reporter Carl Bernstein, on CBS’s Late Late Show, October 27.
